Among several other fixes, the latest in Overwatch patches (1.10.0.2) addresses the Uprising PvE event bugs some players are currently taking advantage of. For many, it takes the joy out of taking down the Null Sector bots for the sake of King’s Row while others are enjoying the free experience and possible loot boxes awaiting them after the guaranteed win.
